Code.Google.com now supports git

Project administrators can now switch their source repo to git (or mercurial or subversion). From the page:

"This chooses the type of version control repository used to store the project source code and wiki. Modifying this setting will not delete existing Git, Mercurial, and Subversion data, but it will change the way the site displays your project's contents."

I'd say a better link is to the issue we marked 'fixed' :

http://code.google.com/p/support/issues/detail?id=2454

Or to the project creation page:

http://code.google.com/hosting/createProject

We hope you like it.

Are there really any reasons to use Google Code when GitHub is kicking so much ass?

I see it also still supports horrible UI. Pass.

Unhelpfully snarky way to put that. Why not say "Getting Git is great. I hope that the UI is improved soon too."?

Lack of git support is one of the major things that has prevented me from using google code. I'm happy to hear it's resolved. :)
